The Book of Eli Comments

If you found this as religious propaganda then your as ignorant as you are blind. It has religious elements too it which i thought were blended in well with the story but it crammed nothing down your throat and id add more too that but i dont want to spoil anything. A great movie with some great acting and alot of cool action. Denzel played his role amazingly. loved the movie 5/5

This movie is really amazing. Beautiful story, love the scenery and the distopian future. I would love to know more about how they got to that point but we are not meant to know everything, what is important is this one man's faith and mission. Watching it a second time (for I haven't seen it since it came out in cinemas) you can see the twist, which I think doesn't spoil but rather enhances my understanding. It is such a great movie, even if you're not religious I would definitely recommend this movie to watch. 8/10.

Surpringly pretty good. i thought it was going to suck to be honest. Nice twist there at the end, and good story line, for a post apoco. movie this one is fairly unique too. I like the deeper meaning behind the movie as well. 4/5..worth the watch.

well people who havnt seen this movie! people are posting spoilers beneath here so be careful what you read! this movie is one of my favourite post apocalyptic movies of all time! great adventure, survival, story and more! loved it!

Some really good narration from Denzel and even though many critics are stating that most of the acting was deadpan, I can't imagine having much pep to any conversation that would take place in that bleak future. I'm not a religious man, but I understood the message of faith against the odds, and sacrifice for the better good. Worth the watch for sure.

Sooo I watched this twice...consecutively..that's how good it is. The 2nd time holds much more meaning..things you pick up on that you wouldn't first time around...it's almost impossible to have more meaning than the 1st watch but it does..it resonates...I recommend for all types of lives/walks/faiths/etc. 100/100

I was very surprised by this movie. I was expecting the worst yet got an enjoyable film. I am not a bit surprised by all of the folks who have their dander up over the film containing... shock... The Bible. Not all of Hollywood's films have to be Christian bash-fests. This one was a surprising, and truthfully neutral, look at a possible society after a disaster and after humanity had &quot;made itself better&quot; by destroying the Bible. Eli must protect and deliver the last copy. He does well on his journey as does Washington with his acting.

its kinda silly but i tried to watch this movie 3 other times and it seems dumb then finally i watched it all and it was great i liked it 4/5 Denzel always does a great movie anyway. i used fairyshare.com version 3 worked perfect.

great movie,good story line and the ending was not too bad. I liked it. I think its one to add to the collection. It would be nice to get a dvd quality to watch again,but can't really complain when its free ;) . 5/5

This was really such a great movie, and Denzel is at his best, the movie has such a twist and is surprising, it is actually very touching. The drama was really good too. 2nd watch, and will probably again. 10/10 You will really like this movie.

Good movie. I was expecting a little more action/involvement wise. That gave me a 'slow moving' feeling of what was going on. Like what was wanted to be said and done, could have been done in half the time. But it was well done, and there was a couple of good interactions with those who were a part of this other than Denzel. 8/10

The Book of Eli Reviews

The much anticipated film, Book of Eli is yet another masterpiece by Denzel Washington. It is postapocalyptic times and Eli's mission is to bring the last copy of the King James Version of the Holy Bible "West." We are not told where he comes from, only that it is "East," and he is traveling by foot to the west. Although the copy of the film I watched was of poor quality, it did not take away from the viewing as the way he is traveling is dry, stark and abysmal. He is not a violent man, but finds himself in violent situations protecting himself and his only possession, his Bible. We understand that he reads from it every night. He comes across a village where the warlord has been murdering anyone who crosses him. He is looking for a Bible to use to increase his power over the population. The story is fraught with lessons, biblical and otherwise. The Book of Eli is a must see, 4/5 because with all of the disasters worldwide, we glimpse a possible future. A prophetic film where the blind see and the crippled walk.

Good story line but not as good as I expected. The acting was pretty good, and some of the fighting scenes are very entertaining. Id say 7/10 for this one but hey I'm not a fan of some of these post-apocalyptic stories. One other note, I felt sometimes Denzel was too invisible. Descent movie and well worth the time watching

Big departure from the usual Cohen Brother work. The plot was the regular end of the world, Rad Warrior type movie, but Denzel Washington does a good job as the carrier of the word of the BIG GUY. I have to admit I did see the ending from almost the beginning, and the girl taking Elis' Ipod and machete smells of crappie sequel. But still worth the watch.

I think this is my fourth time seeing this movie. It NEVER gets old. The first time I saw it I was a little disappointed with the ending but after seeing it more, it grows on you. One of the many things that makes this film unique and sets it apart from other post-pocalyptic films is the score and the theme. The music was done very well and it perfectly suites the cinematography mainly because it just gives you that edgy feeling. The action was good though at some parts felt a little unnecessary. I was surprised to find out that this movie isn't based on anything. Theres no novel, no earlier movie, no comic book, no tv show. I am just glad that someone has finally made something new and for that I give this film a round of applause. It deserves more credit than given.

A post-apocalyptic Western, in which a lone man fights his way across America in order to protect a sacred book that holds the secrets to saving humankind.

well this movie was on my WILL SEE IT TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR list, i am completely shocked this movie turned out exactly opposite of what i was thinking. from the very beginning towards the end it was very slow moving if not annoying or boring movie. it is completely forgettable but you will might have some good time watching it, specially some scenes. i am confused about this movie man, should i rate it high or low, i have no idea i liked it or not. that is strange. most my Flixster friends rated it good. i thought it will be a silly no brainer or a adventurous action thriller with absolutely no plot but it turned out same same but different. lol i am confused.

Movie is very slow moving, no major developments or major twist or story for about an hour. it start with a very strange and weird scene which is breathtaking, well almost. i would however really appreciate the efforts of cinematographer, stunning and superb Locations, lovely. the special effects were good too. a visually stylish and stunning slow moving post apocalyptic- western action movie. this movie was very different and weird. it somehow reminded me of THE ROAD.

Denzel Washington was good in his role, looked good and he did well. Mila Kunis looked nice too. she could have been better. the guy that steals the show according to me even from Denzel is Gary Oldman. i absolutely love him in his crazy and psychotic negative guy and even in his sweet roles as in Batman and Harry Potter movies. he is amazing and was awsome in this movie. Direction of this could have been better, editing was decent though. Story of this movie thankfully was very new and different, that was good an absolutely fresh idea. this movie is a good story teller but i would say that there is not a perfect plot in it. screenplay is very weak too.

some of the fighting, shooting scenes are very good, admirable, stunning and awsome. it was a very rare movie. the ending of this movie absolutely left me stunned, a pleasure. this movie trips alot, some good scenes but on the wole this movie didn't hit me that much. i am so so about it so, i will leave it to you, watch it if you wish too, don't watch it if u don't wan't to. lol. i would have rated it 2 stars but .5 extra for the visual pleasure.

This movie, just plain and simple, was utterly great. Post apocalyptic setting always makes for interesting story to start with in my mind. This movie though to me really perfected the idea of how it would look and getting the sense of feeling of our characters due to events not seen, only heard from sad telling. Some of the action scenes are a little lacking in the department and I believe that is what makes this film not the most epic. Seeing Denzel swing his trusty blade will send anyone for a cheer. Gary Oldman does a great job as always being a villain for once in a long time. Still, I'm not the greatest critic, go see the movie, rent it, buy it if you want, to me it was one of the best films of 2010.

Although it feels like a parallel story taking place at the same time as THE ROAD, this post-apocalyptic thriller has the opposite effect, actually getting less complex and interesting as it goes along. At least it starts out well. The problem is a ho-hum storyline that feels as if it's been strapped to a rack and stretched to breaking point.

This movie was one of the best films that Denzel has done in a while.His work has been look at,as something that young actors need to look at.He took this roll and played this roll to the "T".I would tell all my friends to go see this movie.

There is not much to say about this movie. It has a great actor in Denzel Whasington. It centers around the ability for "man" to always strive for hope in the mist of neverending doom. Mila Kunis really didn't do much for Eli's presumable protoge'. Of course Garry Oldman always plays a good villian. All in all I give this movie a 3 out of 5. I just expected more from it.

Upon first viewing the trailer I was immediately giddy to see a new post-apocalyptic film in the vein of The Road Warrior. Being a fan of the genre, one must get used to the repetitive "lone wanderer" theme so prominently used. I figured this film would go through the same formula, but prepared to enjoy myself.

Yes it did use the lone wanderer as a driving plot device, and yes it did bring the arbitrary twist. Yes all the survivors are short on t-shirts, but live in a wealth of leather and goggles. Yes everything in this film looks like and feels like a typical post-apocalyptia. But the substance of the story is far more powerful then I could ever have expected.

Without giving away too much, yes the film is essentially a Christian metaphor. Eli seems to be protected by some mysterious force, guided by "God" to head west. But it's what the meaning behind this admittedly bizarre plot that makes this film so great. It truly is a film about faith and believing in one's self. Using the dreary post-apocalyptic backdrop, the film is able to contrast this powerful message with the harsh landscape. Even amidst such despair, one can rise and accomplish anything. In a world slowly becoming apocalyptic itself, this message is much welcomed.

The other aspects lending to the power of The Book of Eli are its technical aspects. The cinematography is simply beautiful. Moody slo-mo shots abound with wonderfully toned colors. Everything looks dark and dead, the sun beating down endlessly on the dusty dunes. The soundtrack adds immensely to this feeling, using soft ambient chords and blasting action-scene drums when necessary. Overall The Book of Eli is an excellent film itself and an excellent spin on the post-apocalyptic genre.

Oh yeah, and Denzel Washington actually manages to pull off the part of a wizened, old bad ass.

I like this film it was so different and good. Love it! I love watching Denzel in this film. His role was different, mysterious and religious. In this film he is a mand set out to restore hope to a world that has nothing else to hold on to.

Predictable and simple minded post apocalyptic western style movie. No plot twists, no surprises, no interesting characters and lots of violence. One cowboy against the world. It wasn't even worth watching for free. And I usually enjoy a good post apocalyptic movie. But really, there was nothing surprising or interesting about this movie.
